Tracy, When you drink a cup of tea (herbal, of course), you don't digest that drink, it is absorbed through the stomach walls. If all the liquids we drank went through the small intestine and colon, we wouldn't be able to drink more than a cup or two a day without experiencing diarrhea constantly. Rather, many people drink quarts or gallons per day without that happening, which demonstrates where most of the liquid is going.
Coupled with that dynamic is the poll taken by one of the technical types on the list who polled over 200 folks who drink anywhere from several ounces of CS per day to quarts or more. Only two reported any kind of intestinal disturbance. I drink 10-20 oz./day, have for 3 years, never experienced anything to give me the idea that CS makes it past the stomach. I have excellent digestion/elimination, too. I, too, have read claims that CS is selective which bugs it kills, but I think it's irrelevant anyway. It's not like it's a big, dangerous field, either. Drink all the CS you want. If you get gas or become constipated, back off on the CS and eat some yogurt or take some acidophilus capsules. We're not talking about major pain or discomfort, here. It's pretty much, at worst, like nearly all of us have experienced at one time or another when we took some doctor-prescribed antibiotics. Eat the right thing and you're fine by the next day.
